Star Fish Bar

Woah… I have a feeling that nothing has changed since the previous reviewers wrote about this place in 2008=2009(!)
It still looks unassuming and a bit dated, so much so, that although I have walked and taken the bus down this road many, many times, I never noticed it was here.
The portions are massive. We had two large pieces of cod, one large chips and mushy peas, and I was so full I went into a bit of a food coma… and sat on our sofa watching the Great British Bake Off without wanting to try everything (!)
The batter was a bit thick and greasy for me (so it was a little soggy after the walk home) BUT I still really enjoyed it. Oh, and when I was too full to finish my portion, my kitten looooved it too.

Old fashioned looking Fish and chip shop with chips as I remember them tasting when I was younger. In fact the place even looks like I remember Fish and Chip shops looking in my youth.
Good place for a feed after coming out of one the good local pubs round this way, I was pleased to find it.

I used to live in Birmingham where it’s quite easy to find a good fish and chip shop. Moving to London I soon found it nigh on impossible to find anything remotely palatable down here. Of course that’s probably great for my arteries and, to be honest, I don’t miss it that much, but this little chippy near where i live has once again got me reaching for the vinegar and little wooden sticks!
Okay, from the outside it looks a bit 70’s raggedy and the street doesn’t bode well but the family that run it are friendly, they make pretty much on demand as you order and the fish and batter is done really well. So if you live up north or get lost around here don’t be afraid as actually this is a bloomin’ good place!

Trying to find a decent fish and chip shop in London is quite a trial, especially for the original northerners amongst us. Thankfully, right round the corner from where i live there is this fantastic little place!
The exterior and interior may look dated but the food is good. In addition to brilliant fish and chips for £5 they also offer a range of fried chicken, kebabs and burgers so the whole family should be able to find something.
The family who run it are very polite and the service is very good. Likewise the portions. With so many bad fried chicken places in the area it’s no wonder that they are always very busy which means that the food is always being freshly prepared and not been sitting there all day.
Great little place!
